Calm dowm man, i already did that **** once kkkkkk
Simple: Hold down the reset buton till your cellphone vibrate 3 times (That hide one beside your SD Card). That'll turn it off. So hold down your Volume ( - ) button and plug your USB, now you are in flash mode.
Open Flash Tools and flash a Stock ROM (Recommended) or Stock Kernel, That's it!

You need to hold it down till it vibrate three times.
No fear, only hold it down

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I got exactly the same problem described by OP. But I simply can't get into the flashmode.
When I hold the volume (-) button and plug the cable at the phone, I got nothing more than the Windows USB sound and a red led of death on my ZL (C6503).
What I've already did:
1) Pressed the "Off" button beside the SD card slot a lot of times (holding it for a few seconds of course) before trying to get into the flashmode;
2) Tried SUS, PC Companion and Flashtool but couldn't get the flashmode or detected by any of them;
3) Keep it charging for more than 12 hours and all I got is this red led of Death!
Any help is welcome.
Cheers.
Edit:
Got the flashmode holding at the following way.
1) Pressed the "off" button beside the SD card slot for a few seconds and instead the 3 vibrations the red led blinked 3 times;
2) Hold the volume (-) button, connected the USB cable and keep holding for a lot of seconds, you will hear the Windows USB sound disconnecting and connecting a few times, wait until Flashtool recognize it and start flashing.

[Q] [HELP NEEDED] desire hd bootloader won't open

I have a desire hd which was previously at Android 2.3 Sense 2.1. I used AAHK2 fastboot mode to install custom unlocked hboot. After custom hboot was installed, I downloaded the official update for Sense 3.0 Android 2.3.5. The update downloaded and booted into recovery and it stuck on the recovery. After some time, the stuck still remained so I removed the battery and tried to reboot into bootloader but instead of bootloader, the same recovery opens which is stuck. Please help sorry for my bad english.
Bootloader not opening nor phone showing any response when I connect it to PC in semi-recovery state.

can you more cleared explained what do you mean by "semi recovery state"?
is the phone still can turn it on..?
what happen while you tried pressing and holding vol down+power button...?

Thanks for your reply, I have attached the screenshot to show you what I mean by semi-recovery state. When I tried pressing the Vol Dn + Power button, the screenshot I attached appears. Also, I wanted to tell you that before applying the official update, I used AAHK 2 to attain S-OFF and SuperCID on my device :'(

you shouldn't be flashing official again after gaining s-off with AAHK2 script...
did the green bar off flashing process that you already say is semi recovery..did you ever tried waiting that bar until finish..?, or is just stuck in the half process like in your screen shot..?
if the process bar is not ever finish..just tried removed your battery..then removed your sdcard too..then put it in back again just your battery (leave the sdcard out)..then try it to booting your phone to the bootloder with pressing and hold vol down+power again..just let me know what happen..?

Completely unable to boot to download mode

Hi, as the title says I am completely unable to boot to download mode on my E988. I have literally tried every possible combination of button pressing but nothing works. I have tried rebooting to bootloader from cwm but that doesnt work either, all it does is reboot, show the LG logo, then it reboots normally.. I have tried using terminal emulator to use the command "reboot download" but it doesnt work either, all it does is reboot, show the LG logo, then it reboots normally again. It seems that I am completely unable to access it at all. Any ideas?

Have you try with one end of the usb cord already plug in either your computer or phone, hold down both volume buttons, and plug in the other end. This was the only way down load mode would came on for me until I fixed the phone.

Yup I have. No combination of keys and button pressing seems to work for me it's odd.
Sent from my LG-E988 using XDA Free mobile app

To add on to my previous post, when I do the method whereby I hold vol + and vol - and plugging the usb cord in without my phone's battery, a message shows up when it is detected saying that a "...usb device has malfunctioned...". My phone will then just keep showing the lg logo over and over again causing the message to pop up again and again as the phone is detected and then not detected and the cycle just repeats itself. I have tried to reinstall lg drivers but nothing seems to work...
Edit: It would seem that the phone is indeed trying to boot to download mode whether I use the key combination or command, but it is unsuccessful in doing so and just reboots. Has anyone ever encountered this problem?

Just another person who has Hard Bricked his M8

Hello Everyone
TL;DR Screen doesn't come on at all, battery led only flashes while it is rebooting (More details below), and When plugged in to my windows pc, a bunch of "Local Disk Found" pop up, some of the volumes I can access, most I cannot.
I have searched and searched the internet the past 24 for solutions, and have yet to find one. So imma walk you through what led up to the issue, as well what solutions I have tried.
Yesterday while I was trying to update my rom, I ended up getting stuck in what I thought was a boot loop. I then decided to hard reset my phone and go into recovery in hope to try to reinstall the rom. To my surprise, I could not access the internal sd card in the phone. Data was unmounted in the "Mount" settings and I could not what so ever remount it. After this I tried to side load it, but to no avail.
In response to all my attempts to fix the phone at that point, in frustration, I just said "**** it" and went into factory reset in the bootloader. This is where the hard brick happened. At this point, the screen would not come one, and the battery led was not lit when plugged in. I tried letting my phone charge over night and then, tried the "Battery Recalibrate method". I then tried the "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader"
After that, I then thought that the firmware was corrupted, so I tried to see if I could push an img to the phone, however fastboot does not see the device. I tried RUU, it does not see the device. I tried the HTC Unbrick method by Dexter that required me to install ubuntu and do some things in terminal, that also did not find the device. And here I am stuck. One thing unique to my situation that I have yet seen reported in the countless threads I have searched, is that when I plug my phone to my pc, a large amount of disk drives are found. Most of them are not accessible, but there are a couple that I can go in and see files for. Windows asks me if I want to format the ones I can't access. When hooked to my pc, I tried the the Power + volume button combinations, the only thing that seems to happen off of this is that my phone seems to reboots, and the battery indicator briefly shows.
Anyways, this is all I can remember. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't really think it is a hardware related issue since my phone does somewhat boot. However it seems it can't get to a bootloader what so ever.

Try holding power and vol up for a long time, like a minute or more. Try with and without charger attached, and after sitting on charger overnight.
If the bootloader is intact, the phone is likely not truly bricked (recoverable). And I don't see how you could have damaged hboot by the actions you mentioned.
What is the phone's original CID (carrier version) and are you s-on or s-off?

Verizon is the carrier version, and I am s-off.

Held vol + up for 5 minutes both with and without the charger. One time with the charger into my computer, and another into the wall. When it was in my pc, I can tell its doing nothing but rebooting over and over by the notification sound, and the constant "Found new disk" notifications I got. However still no luck, no screen turns on, no sign of hboot. I'm hoping to have some luck after leaving it on charge overnight and trying again.

So still nothing after leaving it on charge overnight and I held vol + up for about 5 minutes. Things seem grim.

I think the proper thing to do when you discovered internal storage was not mountable, would have been to use the TWRP option to format internal storage (in Advanced Wipe options).
But now I'm baffled as to what happened that would have rendered the phone unable to boot into fastboot mode. Fastboot won't recognize the device if you can't boot into fastboot mode, which leaves use kinda stuck.
So you didn't try to flash anything during the course of all this troubleshooting?

What you did - "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader" is totally wrong
I used to get this bunch of local disk pop-up and this is how I get out the problem
Connect the device to pc, you can hear notification sound on pc that device is connected. Ignore all those bunch of local disk pop-up
Press & hold both power button & volume up button until you hear another notification sound that device is disconnected from PC (that's the indication that device is restarted)
Release both power & volume up button and quickly press & hold volume down button (only this one button)
This should get you on bootloader

No, nothing was flashed except the original Rom update that got this snowball rolling (Not saying its the roms fault, most likely mine).

This is the one combination I forgot to mention in the op, sorry for that.
But I have tried this, before and after your post, still no luck.
If it worth mentioning, I can just hold power + down and it still reboots over and over. As well as just power. As a matter of fact, all button combinations reboot the phone over and over.

By it constantly connecting and disconnecting from my pc. If that doesn't mean its rebooting, then I guess I'm mistaken.

Well, it might mean that.
If it in fact is rebooting over and over on its won, simply holding the vol down button for a long time, should put you into bootloader (on the next reboot "cycle"). Again, assuming it is in fact rebooting, and that bootloader is intact.

ZE551ML keeps vibrating, won't start.

Hi everyone,
Yesterday, as usual, i plugged my zenphone to its charger, but it almost instantly turned off and won't restart since.
The phone keeps vibrating every minute as if it was booting, but the screen doesn't light up, nor the led while charging.
I've read a lot of thread with similar problems, which were solved by replugging the battery, but this solution won't work for me.
Here is what i've tried so far:
-Changing the charger/cable
-Replugging the battery
-Leaving the battery unplugged over night, then replug
-Leaving the phone rest for 8 hours
-Pressed every possible combination of button for 20 sec
None of the above solutions changed anything.
I don't think that it could be a battery problem, the phone shut down at arround 40% and my multimeter still indicates a voltage of 4.20V at the battery.
Hope you guys will be able to help me !
Thanks

4.2 means battery more than 80 percent. you seems bricked. use the following guide step by step read everything carefully. any question post there in the thread. please search around before starting new thread.

@Solasmeryl
Was you in M when you bricked ?
If you was and are getting 'continuing to os ' error in xFSTK .
Try this > in xFSTK
1) fwr dnx = your normal file you used before
2)Ifwi = try this >
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xjhv9gfiv5sn7xx/tmp_17491-ifwi_ann_a0-mofd_v1-ze551ml1929259488.bin
3) is skipped = per usual
4) OS = your usual posignbin you used before
If you get bootloader now , it will be 0094.0183 for M , flash M raw file.
Then you flash M raw file (twice) in AFTools, raw M = 4.21.40.184
First flash for approx 3 to 4 mins, where on-screen cmds pauses on "RESULT=OK" on phone.
Close flashtools , force close.
Open flashtools again , input raw , press vol+ (once) and serial now is corrected , flash till it boots into system.approx 8 mins
Notes..
If serial number is correct after xFSTK flash , you only flash raw once only. Flash Twice if serial is 0123456789ABCDEF
.
.
When connecting to xFSTK. Connect data lead.
Press power and vol-, press download , connect phone, release vol- and power
If fail , press vol + and power till first of two vibes , release buttons , hit download button in xFSTK at the same time you release buttons on phone , tricky but you can do it .
There's AFT and links to needed files in my unbrick thread in my signature , even a video showing flashing procedure

Fixed LINK , added M .184 ifwi for xFSTK

@timbernot
Hi, thank you for helping me out, i didn't though my problem could be a brick, but my symptoms are the same.
I was running CM 13, so yeah, the android version was M.
I tried your IFWI file but it doesn't seem to have fixed anything, except, the phone doesn't vibrate anymore now.
I don't know i just accidentally destroyed the vibration motor or if the IFWI file has anything to do with it.

Nothing to do with Motor i`m afraid
Battery dead , will be the main cause .
Leave connected to charger for a good few hrs :good:
Each flash in xFSTK uses approx 10% battery , more if you sit there watching it `continuing to os`
See my video in link -- the button process and connection -- i do it just the once , admittedly i have unbricked many zens and know exactly when to press dload in xFSTK :good:

ps cm13 was based on LP mainly , only the latter versions and cm 14 had bootloader upgrades.
So return to original flashing files

Ok, so i charged up the phone, went back to the original file as suggested. Vibrations are back, but i still can't figure out how to pass the "Continuing to OS" error :/
Here is how i seem to understand the steps:
1. I Click begin download (which start the 120sec timer)
2. I press Power and Vol - for 4 sec then release
3. I Connect the phone to the PC, hear the windows "device connect" sound
4.Messages show up in xFSTK, sometimes errors, sometimes the download begins, and back to the "Continuing to OS"
5.The phone vibrates, the software attemps 20 reconnect then aborts.
I've also tried a lot of different combinations such as pressing power after plugging, not pressing power at all, etc (The software indicates 41 tries).
It just seems that the phone is completely dead :/
Thans a lot for the help, i really hope that i doesn't bother you too much by making mistakes !

Do you usual flash , soon as you see continuing to os Press power and vol + , at first of of two vibes - release and hit download.
Note , if only one vibe , re press and keep pressed vol+ and power immediately.
Do press download first like in the video..but you have to double click it to stop and to begin again at the exact time of releasing at first of two vibes
Ps , depending on pc speeds etc etc , it is wise to come off the internet , disable anti virus , clean pc from junk, c cleaner free is good and do a reboot.
Also , some people report it just flashing after hrs of failures by just leaving phone connected after a failure with xFSTK still open, then restarting flash after a good break of half hr plus

No change :/ even tho i've tried every button timing possible i guess.
I've noticed that pressing Power and Vol- before plugging in the phone always leads to an error. The only way to get to the continuing to os is by pressing these buttons while the phone is already connected, and then hit download.
Could there be any other software problem that could **** things up and that i forgot to mention ?

Can you ignore xFSTK for a moment
try this without being connected to pc either.
(A)Press and keep pressed power and vol+ . Does your phone vibrate (twice) ?

Well , somehow you gotta release both buttons and hit download at the same time at first vibrations of the two .
Do what you need regarding pressing power and vol- to connect initially . Then go about trying to get the above two vibes process while downloading . Be fast to double click download at the first of two vibes --
Thats it !
That is all anyone has to do :good:
One other thing to try is - just try power , on its own(like power off), press and keep pressed after initial connection download process, once it vibrates - release and -- go for the power and vol+ 2 vibe process again. Get ready to hit download !

Hi, sorry for the delay, i had a lot of work the past two days.
I've tried everything you said, double checked every parameter, and even tried the manipulation on another computer, but there is no change.
The weird thing is, that if i plug the phone into the computer, it gets detected, but there is no vibe, so no way to know when to click on download. I only get vibes on boot if it is not connected in USB.
Moreover, i don't really understand what you mean by " double click at the first 2 vibes", since the button gets "gray" after 1 press, and there is no way to double click it.
I'm sorry, you have put a lot of effort into helping me, but i really think that my phone may be more damaged than a simple brick :/

Suggests it will be USB board /port /cable :good:
Do the same again with data cable connected to phone but not connected to anything to rule out cable :good:

I'm not sure to really understand your last sentence ? Do you mean like removing the 2 power cables inside the USB ?
I've tried with different USB cables, and no change either :/

You can now only pray it is the USB board and not Mainboard , order a new USB board and a `new` Data cable, do not use old data cables with new board just incase your phones charge port has altered pins on either or both cables or data cable has changed pins on usb or vice versa :good:
ps , make sure it is a quality data cable you order too, some sell data when only a charge cable
